Janet, thanks a lot for the explanation! Very interesting. It is a pity that the Tipuloidea receives so little attention from the amateurs. It is indeed a fascinating group. When I started to look at diptera, ages ago, as a teenager, I thought of starting to collect Tipulidae, but realized soon that insect-boxes are getting very quickly full with them! ;)
Maybe we can do something about that! I'm not collecting, but I also think this group receives too little attention. It's really only those which have definite wing pattenrs and don't need the male genitals which can be done from good pics but that will have to be enough for me. I don't do little boxes :P
